Glossary
- Billing anchor
A billing anchor fixes the day subscriptions renew, such as the 1st of each month or every Tuesday, whatever the signup date. Definition and an example.
- Involuntary churn
Involuntary churn is subscriptions ending because a payment failed, not because the customer chose to leave. Causes, a worked example and how to cut it.
- MRR
MRR is the recurring revenue your active subscriptions bring in per month, normalized to a monthly amount. Formula, a worked example and common pitfalls.
- Prepaid subscription
A prepaid subscription charges once for several deliveries, such as 6 months paid upfront with monthly shipping. How it works, an example, the trade-offs.
- Selling plan
A selling plan is how Shopify defines buying a product on repeat — billing, delivery and price. What's inside one, an example and how Zubs creates them.
